   Ok I think I see it now.. feeling of rapid heartbeat --> "omg there's   
   something wrong" --> panic reaction triggered --> "omg there's   
   definately something wrong with me, I feel terrible" --> loss of focus.   
      
   To continue on my previous post, I have, surprise surprise, panic   
   disorder and migraine, and I'm a "natural-born" lucid dreamer. Still   
   wondering about the possible connection here. I'm not touching astral   
   projection here really, but I'm thinking that lucid dreaming might very   
   well be a genetically determined talent.
